Esophageal cancer is most common in men over 60 and is heavily influenced by alcohol consumption and tobacco use.
Healthaid.org published a press release that stressed that one way people can prevent the occurrence of the disease is to control how much alcohol they consume, stop smoking, and stay on a well-balanced diet.
The actress’s fans, as well as other players and staff of the industry, offer profound condolences to Seo So-kang and his wives’ families.
